Healthcare
We believe the healthcare infrastructure is a key pillar in supporting the fundamental aim of improved standards of care and wellbeing, while also providing a good experience of the health service.
Responding to advances in healthcare
We recognize that improvements in the healthcare sector have come about because of advances in medical research, population demography, life sciences, and clinical procedures, which have impacted the delivery of how and where the treatment is best delivered.
We have sought to respond to these pressures to achieve targeted efficiencies in operational budgets, which has led to a more efficient use of treatment spaces and the adoption of new methods of working. We work closely with our clients to provide healthcare facilities that are world-class, which leads to better patient-centric outcomes.
Our aim is to assist in the necessary strategic decisions by developing clear and coherent actions to improve the health service, delivering tangible benefits to patients and service users. Changes in population demography, advances in technology and improvements in healthcare have meant that we are living longer, resulting in an increasing burden to provide care to an increasing population of elderly patients.
The built environment – the key to healthcare improvement
The healthcare built environment infrastructure must integrate the hospital as the centre for acute patient care and into the broader healthcare service. We seek to assist in the provision of built environment infrastructure that supports the patients experience, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, safety, equity, and sustainability.
We believe the healthcare infrastructure is a key pillar in supporting the fundamental aim of improved standards of care and wellbeing, while also providing a good experience of the health service. The primary function of the built environment infrastructure must be to support staff in effective health promotion and secondly to improve the wellbeing of staff, as this is an integral part of ensuring improved care for patients.
We seek to provide a built environment that is constructed to high standards reflecting design principles such as flexibility of usage to ensure that the space is adaptable as services requirements change, as illustrated in the Procure 21+ programme.
We also seek to promote design principles that ensure that wards and patient areas have good light, space, and with good views where possible to promote a patient friendly and healing environment.
We have the experience in managing significant capital expenditure across a wide range of projects advising on new build, as well as the refurbishment programmes transforming the built environment to deliver better solutions and increase the yield of the health service space.
We aim to support our clients in the strategic development of their property reviewing the provision of acute services and any subsequent reconfiguration of the space providing smarter facilities, more integrated models of care and future resilience of care.
